That's a really dangerous thing to do for a piece of software that's made to run untrusted code on your system!

I anticipate these reports every year and have strong trust in the data - I want to make that clear - Backblaze has done a massive service to the entire industry by collecting and aggregating this kind of data.

I'm really super curious about the dip in errors over the past year :)
Yeah, only cashed in checks from US and U.K. Each time I need to find out how to do it! Think three checks in 40years ain’t bad

> nq tries hard (but does not guarantee) to ensure the log file of the currently running job has +x bit set. Thus you can use ls -F to get a quick overview of the state of your queue.

Is that a typo? Why would you need {ugo}+x to tail a file?

[edit -- sorry, it's not tailing; somehow I read `tail -F` instead of `ls -F`.]

Layer 4 load balancing can be a huge reduction in work for the load balancer; especially if it's in a Direct Server Return configuration, where the load balancer only sees incoming packets, and response packets go directly from the server.

The downside is you lose any ability to balance based on details of the application protocol, it requires some specific network setup, and it's hard to find a DSR load balancer in managed hosting or cloud. I'm not sure if there's off the shelf software to manage DSR either (the basic pieces are there in most firewalls, but management isn't)
I asked my father, a native Czech speaker to explain what Robata means. Pasting his reply below.

First, linguistically speaking: it's a Slavic language work, which broadly means "work". For example, the Russian word for "work" is "rabota". The Czech for work is "prace" but in slang usage one could say "robota" to signify hard work (e.g. "Musim do roboty"; "Ceka na me robota")

Historically: in the middle ages peasants had to spend a day each week working for the local lord on his field--this obligation was called "robota".

Karel Capek wrote a sci-fi play called R.U.R. where the word "robot" is used for the first time (it was suggested by Capek's brother Josef.)

R.U.R. stands for Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti (Rossum's Universal Robots, a phrase that has been used as a subtitle in English). It premiered on 25 January 1921 and introduced the word "robot" to the English language and to science fiction as a whole. R.U.R. quickly became influential after its publication.

docker and k8s adoption can also force a company that over years has developed and perfected a half-ass'd solution to deploying applications, with a single(-ish) source of truth that ends up solving the right organizational problems instead of the wrong technical ones (and ends up costing way more, at least in the short term).
Very much mirrors my experience. Github provides a very useful project-independent unified UI for drive-by patches and off-the-cuff issues. No more mailing lists or bug trackers to sign up for and manage!

And it's also even got an integrated version control system, that 99.9% of projects then use, and it's one that makes it easy to version control a fork of your own as you work on any patches you might be making.

Progress!

I suspect that 1 in 96 figure is mostly people who have uMatrix or NoScript installed, not people who have disabled JavaScript entirely. A little judicious blocking can greatly improve browsing experience at the cost of having to set up rules for sites when you first visit them sometimes.

"ls", not "tail". I think the idea is that "ls" will visually mark files with the execute bit set, which makes them easy to pick out in a directory listing.

Right so the idea being, whoever is pondering where they came from, by definition is already that 1 in a gazillion node in the compute cluster that actually arrived at a viable solution. Is that what you're getting at?
You're not meant to coordinate your trades with other entities. That alone is manipulation I believe.

You're meant to buy(sell) because you like the idea of (not) owning something. That means you don't want to move the price. If you move the price you can't buy more at the same great price later. Wanting to move the price is sort of the smoking gun of manipulation.

Being able to change the price in the short term means the price is "wrong". A wrong price cheats all sorts of market participants even ones who don't trade.

Securities fraud is defined as any action that "induces investors to make purchase or sale decisions on the basis of false information"[0]. A false price is a great false piece of info to manufacture.

I'm watching with interest for when WSB attracts the interest of the regulators. Being retail means they're generally ignored, until they're not.

YC is hosting a virtual Go-To-Market Jobs Expo on March 18th
YC's Go-To-Market Jobs Expo is for people looking for non-engineering roles at YC startups. We’ll have 20+ YC startups that are looking for sales people, marketing experts, growth specialists and operators, among others.

The need for go-to-market experts is becoming more and more critical to the success of YC startups. Many are seeing rapid growth and product adoption, and need early business people to setup and run new functions like sales or marketing. Others are fundamentally operational (like Instacart or DoorDash), and your help operationalizing large teams of contractors, vendors or creators. Here are a few of the companies presenting:

- Whatnot (W20) started as a live-auction marketplace for Funko items, and is looking for partnerships people to enter adjacent markets like trading cards, Pokemon and comics.

- Welcome (W20) offers a virtual event platform that has been used by Salesforce, Oracle and Okta, and needs sales people to drive revenue & adoption.

- OneSignal (S11) offers developers a simple API for push notifications, and is looking to scale with an experienced partnership manager.

At the event, founders will share a quick pitch about their company and open roles, followed by a virtual expo hall to meet with people 1-1, where you can learn more. We’ve also prepped founders to have their teams ready for light interviews — something that attendees of past events have asked for.

You don’t need years of experience to work at a startup. You do need a do-what-it-takes mindset to solve problems and help scale the business. You’ll also need to learn faster and be willing to adapt as you learn, especially as some of startups are in emergent industries or domains.

If you’re considering something new — or even if you’re just curious to know what’s out there — apply to join YC and our founders for a great evening of pitches and networking:

This is how I understood the comment -

In a torus, there are effectively two holes -

1. the center hole around which there is a cylindrical ring

2. the whole inside the cylindrical ring, which is hidden and connected.

When we cut along the length of the cylindrical ring, we are effectively creating two edges, just like if we were to cut a circular ring of wire, we would end up with two points at the end.

The two edges then open up, effectively forming another cylinder, which has to be cut again.

Any other object which has only a single hole, would require only a single cut to flatten out.
It’s important to factor in how much cost savings Facebook could realize by eliminating most of its advertising department and associated engineering when looking at how moving off an advertising model might affect profitability. I have no idea what the magnitude of this is, but a good portion of that $30-40 has to get chewed up by spending on stuff that makes the platform less useful to the end users.

>Well, remembering doesn't just "play a role", it plays the biggest role in learning. It's not even remotely optional: without remembering there's no learning.

This is different from the phrase in your first paragraph that stated:

>All learning amounts to remembering.

There is a difference between saying that remembering is a necessary condition for learning, and saying that remembering is learning.

Memory plays a role in learning. Does it play the biggest role? Let's assume it does. Is learning only memory? I don't think so. Did you not mean to say that all learning is remembering and but wrote so even though your thoughts on that are more nuanced? Probably.

>And inversely, discovering ourselves what we learn or applying are both optional. I can listen to a professor tell me about something someone else discovered, and never apply it, but as long as I remember that information, I have learned it.

See, here again I'll have to disagree. I'm looking at it from the standpoint of output and outcome of a system where that output is not simply information retrieval.

Let's say the information is about driving. I can have a driving manual memorized. Can I remember that information about driving? Yes. Have I "learned" driving? No.

As I said, it's been awhile. Was the latter half of 2016 when I tried.

I had bumped into it while trying to write a "system compositor / fullscreen shell" which would run another wayland compositor inside for the purpose of desktop recording. It would convert the wayland buffer handles into vaapi surfaces so I could use the GPU's video encoder. Most compositors never really picked up support for running nested, so I had abandoned that project.

I was super intrigued about wayland because it caused all the drivers to truly support offscreen accelerated rendering, I was also hoping to turn it into a remote desktop thing where you could actually run 3D apps in the future as well.

Wow, this is so expensive. Really glad we don't use gitlab, which appears to be approximately 10x the per user price pay for these products on a standalone basis. I think if this was billed monthly and cost about 1/5 the level, it would be in the ballpark.

Maybe they are just getting their clock cleaned by GitHub so are trying to be a pure enterprise play, and dump startups.
How to write a kubectl plugin from scratch
One of my favorite Mad magazine cartoons has this patient sitting with his dentist. The dentist tells him the cost of the dental work, and the payment plans for it. The patient says "sounds like I'm buying a car!" The dentist replies: "Yes, I am!" I think some of the comments here are confused about how pricing works and why GitLab is doing it. And, IMHO, there is so much value in even the free open source version that they'll have to do a lot worse to lose my business.

Does anyone know if the open source (totally free) version, under these new pricing guidelines, permits you to charge people for accounts on a self-hosted GitLab instance? Am I able to run a business based on GitLab without paying a penny to GitLab as long as I use the open source features?

Looking at their pricing page, it seems that the Ultimate tier, and even the premium tier, has a lot of features that many of their customers will never use.

I am assuming that the pricing plan is set by deployment and not by user, otherwise a company could buy 5 Ultimate seats, 20 Premiums, and the rest join for free. There is no point in buying Ultimate for 100 users when only 5 of them would ever want to use the Ultimate features.

I agree - although I see all of those cases as special cases of the same general action: filesystem operations are state machine transitions.

I’ve been playing with the idea lately that the OS could support general transformation functions (eg “insert an ‘A’ character at this location”, “append this log entry”, “overwrite this byte range”, etc. Those transformation functions could be generic or written in wasm/BPF. The filesystem can process operations like this efficiently by storing them to a log and periodically flushing. (Or whatever makes sense for the operations).

Having a completion API that separates “buffer can be reused” and “persistently flushed” is great, and should be available for all filesystem operations. Not just for databases!

If an application wants to use traditional posix semantics, write() calls can just be one of the supported operation types.

And as a bonus, filesystem watching can become highly granular - you could subscribe to the stream of semantic changes to a file!

Step 0 and step 2 are false, but in typical Twitter fashion uttered with such confidence. Citadel can fill those trades internally for better-than-market price, but it's illegal to front-run them. It's not a practice I agree with, but it's not front-running.

HFT surely made money market making GME, as they probably did with many other instruments today. There's nothing unique in the HFT space about GME.
I don't have a source. But conceptually, a condo or apartment generally has fewer square feet per bedroom, and doesn't include the land. I'm not sure how to capture this for rentals, but if you find a neighborhood with both apartments and single family homes, and look on Zillow, comparably size homes will cost more. I live in a house that's part of a condo complex (association, no private yards, no garages), and the exact same structure elsewhere in our neighborhood with a small (~3K sf) lot and a garage cost $200k more.
Ah! Thanks. I guess if they need a second color, they could mark the file `setuid` as well. :P This is clever, but I wouldn't trust any tool that marks not-intentionally-executable things as executable.
